French electronic music composer and CISAC President Jean Michel Jarre
today called on European Union decision-makers to support a European
project that will ensure the protection of creative works and guarantee a
fair remuneration for all stakeholders in the creative industries, and
in particular authors.

In a video address at the ‘Auteurs & Co’ conference organised in Paris by authors rights’ society SCAM (Société Civile des Auteurs Multimedia),
CISAC’s President expressed his concerns about the European Commission
and the European Parliament's outlined plans regarding copyright
harmonisation and the creation of a Single Digital Market.

The event explored a wide range of issues facing Europe today,
including the values that the new European Commission wants to herald in
the aftermath of its election, the role of cultural and creative
industries, new policies in the digital age, and the alledged "need" to
modernize copyright/authors' rights to facilitate the consumption of
creative works in a globalised economy.

“I invite all European decision-makers to fully measure the impact of
any change in future legislations in the field of copyright. Let's not
forget that the idea of authors' rights has its roots in Europe. It
would be hard to believe that the continent that introduced this truly
innovative and modern concept would also be its gravedigger,” Jarre
said, adding that recent events were “very worrying”.

“Once again, creators have the feeling that they are going to be the
victims of economic pragmatism and European dogmatism,” he said.

“Harmonisation, yes, but one that would pull the market upwards, not
one to satisfy the short-term needs of internet giants, most of which
are not European, and, when operating in Europe, have often questionable
fiscal behaviours.”

Speaking at the Auteurs & Co event, French Minister for Culture and Communications Fleur Pellerin said that “Preserving the diversity of European creation is a fundamental stake in today's global economy”.

"We know that the diversity of European creation is its greatest asset," she told the audience.

"France is driven by a strong conviction that a single market does
not mean a standardized culture. This is what is at stake with the
French cultural exception. France is fighting on behalf of all European
cultures. Asserting that culture is not a commodity like any other is
recalling the foundation of the European project," she said.

On Wednesday, during the Council of Ministers, Fleur Pellerin
presented the government's strategy and action plan to fight against
piracy of creative works on the Internet. In the European debate on the
modernization of authors’ rights, the French Government is determined
to seek efficient solutions to prevent and repress online piracy be
defined, involving all economic players in the digital market.

Jean Michel Jarre first came to international fame with his number one hit album, « OXYGENE » which went on to sell over 18 million copies worldwide.

A pioneer in his field, Jarre has largely contributed to the fastest growing musical revolution of the 20th century, electronic music : conceiving music in terms of sounds rather than only in terms of notes, and thus allowing the composer to become his own craftsman.

Having followed formal studies of harmony and counterpoint at the Conservatoire de Paris, he was inspired to reinvent music at its core, with his own singular vision, deploying the technology and tools of his epoch.

This pioneering approach gave birth to worldwide hit albums such as "OXYGENE","EQUINOXE", MAGNETIC FIELDS", "ZOOLOOK", "RENDEZVOUS", "WAITING FOR COUSTEAU"...over 80 million albums sold to date.

Following through with his revolution in music, he also conceived a brand-new genre and format of concerts; breaking away from the traditional theatre and arena context, Jarre brought his music and vision outdoors to the masses. Often free and open-to-all, these stateof- the-art concert-spectaculars showcase the natural or urban environment in which they are performed -- a truly singular sonic and visual "land-art" event, conceived and performed on a unique scale for a one-off experience.

Jarre's legendary concerts have attracted Guinness Record-breaking audiences across the planet. They take place in exceptional settings, marking extra-ordinary contexts: first western musician invited to perform in post-Mao Red China, Millennium at the Great Pyramids of Egypt, Houston City concert in collaboration with NASA in memory of the Challenger space crew, Concert for His Holiness Pope John Paul II, France's Eiffel Tower in celebration of World Cup victory, Gdansk's shipyard at the initiative of Nobel Peace Laureate Lech Walesa, London's Docklands, Beijing's Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, the Sahara Desert...to the absolute record live audience of 3.5 million in Moscow.

Most recently, Jean Michel Jarre embarked on his first ever world tour which has already taken him to over 30 countries with over 220 performances.

July 2011, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco called upon Jean Michel Jarre to celebrate his Royal Wedding by creating and performing a concert-event in the Principality which was largely broadcast on television & Internet worldwide to an estimated audience of 3 billion.

The French musician has a dedicated ongoing engagement to the United Nations via UNESCO, as Ambassador and spokesperson for Environment and Education.
